DS development > Where's the antenna?

#29823 - imbrettjackson - Thu Nov 25, 2004 5:20 pm

I'm looking to gussy up my DS with some stickers, decals, what-not... but I'm worried about covering up the antenna and potentially blocking the wi-fi signal. So my question is this....

1) Looking at these lik sang pics - can anyone identify the placement of the antenna? http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=3530

2) What would I have to glue on this thing to actually block a signal? Something more than a sticker?

I need to pop the case and take a look for the antenna.

I'd guess that if you avoid metallic and ferrous(iron) stickers,
then you shouldn't alter the antenna performance.

Once we have a feel for the antenna placement,
we might think about "enhancing" it :)

I guess it's the fat black little cable that ends in a yellow metal clip.

Yeah, it has a shielded area labelled NTR-RFU next to it, so that must be it.
